Junior Hurling League Division 2

Lisgoold 1-16 (19)
Killeagh (2) 1-8 (11)
At Killeagh
22nd August 2012

A crucial victory for Lisgoold vs. Killeagh in Páirc Liosgcúl saw the home side up cement their position to second place of the division two Hurling League. Cathal Cashman, dominant and powerful in his full back berth , led by example , and was well supported by the tireless and ebullient Rob Smart (who recently celebrated his 21st) who lorded in his "lar na pairce" role. John Cashman , as usual , was accurate throughout and punished our visitors repeatedly from deal ball situations, whilst the youthful trio of Pa O’Mahony, John Cronin and Noel Connery kept the men in green at bay while our forwards of John McCarthy (who raised the green flag), Brian O’Sullivan & Bill Whelan kept the white flags raised in our favour, especially during an impressive second half that saw us run out victors by a deserved eight point margin. This put us on the brink of promotion back to the Division 1 League, and with results depending may be decided before we play our last game vs Fr.O’Neills. A mention must go to the industrious Alan Conroy, who received a horrific leg injury, Alan no doubt, being the sturdy, tough player he is, will recover from this and we wish him well.
